medicare, the same thing. we have to find ways to do it. continuing to kick the can down the road, we cannot do the hard things today, but trust us later, it is not inspiring. in many ways we already looks like greece. our debt is about 100% of gdp. government is 25% of annual economy, and those are numbers that are historically dangerous for our country to be in. if we do not change them soon, we will look like greece, and have many of the same problems. when people lose confidence in our ability to be fiscally responsible, bad things will happen fast. we saw a glimpse of that in 2008. that will just be an appetizer. host: did you support john boehner? guest: we do not do leadership. only members of congress get that vote. i think john boehner is a fine individual, a conservative individual. i wish he would lead a little more consistent with his own votes, and i have heard him say he is not knig, but speaker of the congress that he has to represent, but i think nancy pelosi provides a great example. it might surprise your viewers that i ha

take medicare for instance. i think that medicare has a way to be fixed. i met this past or two days ago with representatives from the aarp. i have looked at senator beckett's from alaska, a proposal he has put forth for the fixed social security. i really believe that there is a lot that can be done. we just have to sit down and do it in a comprehensive way. i don't think that you should do these things piecemeal. social security has nothing to do with the deficit, and it ought to be dealt with as a separate issue, but it has a lot to do with settling issues in the economy, because social security is a wedge issue if you don't get it fixed. so, let's fix social security and keep it where it ought to be walled off from everything else, and then take a hard look at how the tackle the things when it comes to the medicare and medicaid. >> so there's a sense of unlinking it from the sort of time-pressed issues that are about the debt ceiling and that sort of thing, because this is not really on that topic. >> it is not on that at all and we should de-link it i

interest rates went up, dividends went up, there was a medicare surtax on both of those things. the estate tax was adjusted. payroll tax affected all people in this country. medicare surcharge on income affected the wealthy and a limiting of deductions which means some wealthy lose up to 80% of their deductions. i know you can always find ways to raise taxes on people but what else can democrats touch? that was an exhaustive list. >> it was an exhaustive list, but the revenue raised was only $600 billion. and $600 billion as you said at the top of the segment is really a drop in the bucket in regards to what we need to do in getting the deficit down. so we're going to have to search for other sources. what are the other sources? for example, mortgage interest deductions, suppose you buy -- you're wealthy enough, you buy a $20 million house. you have a mortgage interest deduction of something in the order of $30,000 or $40,000 or $50,000 a year. well, should that be limited? i think that is a very important question. or take, for example, something we talked about a lot during th
